On Appeal from the 338th Judicial District Court of Harris
County, Texas - Trial Court No. 1338052
Honorable Brock Thomas
__________________________________________________________
MOTION FOR LEAVE AND EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE REPLY BRIEF
___________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
Arturo Chavez, Appellant, respectfully requests leave of court and an extension of time to
file a reply brief. Appellant’s reply brief is filed at the same time as this motion. Appellant filed
his brief on December 11, 2014. The state filed its brief in response on February 2,
2015. According to Texas Rule of Appellant Procedure 38.6(c), Appellant’s reply brief was due
by February 22, 2015.
Replying to the state’s brief took considerably more time than anticipated. Counsel
believes that the reply brief will assist the Court in narrowing and addressing the issues presented
in this appeal. For these reasons, Appellant seeks leave to file his reply brief out of time.
Respectfully submitted,
DeGUERIN, DICKSON, HENNESSY & WARD
